cnn's martin savidge joins us from cleveland. early voting, martin, very important for the president. how's it looking where you are in cleveland right now? >> reporter: well, at least the cnn poll of the early voters seem to be going very much in president obama's favor. let me point out something here. the early voting has finally come to an end in the state of ohio. the reason i say finally is it began october 2nd. it ended at 2:00 this afternoon. the complete tallies for the state are not up. but up until friday, 1.6 million early votes were cast. of that, 1.1 million were absentee ballots. in cuyahoga county, 282,589 votes were cast. here's the number that could end up haunting the state. 1.3 million absentee ballots were sent out. so far, 1.1 million have come back. 200,000 absentee ballots still out there somewhere. the worry is that many of those ballots could actually be people who show up to vote on election day. they can do that but they'll be given a provisional ballot. we already know there's a lot of legal wrangling
